A Fun Holiday Weekend

I trust all my readers enjoyed their 4th of July and long holiday weekend. We sure did! We spent our time in Michigan visiting family and just relaxing. A hard task for me, I managed!

On the 4th I played a local golf course that was a quite a surprise and a treat to play. Reddemann Farms is located in Chelsea, MI and is on what used to be a working dairy farm. Now a well manicured golf course, the layout has nice rolling changes in elevation and winds through the local woods. At $32 to walk, it was an incredible deal!

Beyond the golf, we hung out on the property, enjoyed our time catching up, and playing with Gilbert and Jasper. For the evening of the 4th we built an ad hoc fire pit and started a bon fire. Kristen was able to fulfill her 4th wish of having smores!

Saturday consisted of traveling to family for a graduation party. It was nice to see Kristen's family as it has been awhile.

However, the most surprising aspect of the trip was to discover what a great traveler Gilbert can be. The trip was approximately four hours each way. He slept the entire trip home and on the way out he slept most of the way and when awake simply enjoyed his time in the car seat. Talk about a relief!
